I'm assuming it's any%.
He's using Bonfire Ascetics to continue to farm off The Rotten, to get a million soul memory so he could get through the Shrine of Winter.

bonfire ascetics to respawn the Rotten over and over again, each time making it harder (ng+, ng++ and so on), they also drop more souls, adding up to 1mil soul memory to go directly through shrine without the other three bosses

I will give Dark Souls 2 credit in that it is more interesting to watch than Halo 2.
Every time he dodges a swing from this Rotten boss, it looks like he's fractions of a second from getting pummeled. No idea how he evades them so consistently.
Did somebody seriously send in a donation comment about beating Dark Souls is harder than beating cancer? I wasn't sure exactly what they said.

I really liked the Halo (2?) run last time. There might have been developer commentary or something though, and it was amusing seeing vehicles where they weren't supposed to go.
Why is the Dark Souls 2 character running with no clothes on? Is it faster, like a knife in Counter-strike: Global Offensive?

This is the most popular category? All bosses is more fun I think
Lower equip burden = faster stamina regeneration, so you can start sprinting again faster when you run out of stamina

Kind of unfortunate that the quickest path for DS2 doesn't involve more boss variety; would have been cool to see him wreck a few more of them.
Edit: We think alike.

Yet my comment in SMRPG about Dodos need love too got ignored.
Basically yea. It drains less stamina + fast rolls.

Yeah, equip load effects movement. This run is pretty amazing. Also for people watching it from the start, how is his rapier so powerful? Is it maxed out or is just countering every hit with that ring equipped?

I wonder if they have online enabled? Would be funny if an invader tried to ruin the run.
Yea counter hits + all the buffs.

I was thinking the same thing, but I haven't seen any signs anywhere so they're probably offline.

Murphy's Broro.
Dark Souls 2 has like, 60 bosses. All bosses in Dark Souls is basically a boss run with actual running between each boss.

Man, I just tuned in. How the hell is he at Drangleic after only 30 minutes? Did he do a soul trick to skip the four bosses?

I can see OoT raking in 100k.
Sort of, beat rotten 4 times to get a million soul memory

Ah, gotcha. Interesting strategy, and it makes sense now that I think about it.

Definitely one of the best runs this year. The guys playing the game are good and do some neat tricks while the commentary is all around amazing and hilarious. That ending too, oh man. Enjoy that one.
For those who watched, how was the Kingdom Hearts II run?

Really good, but the Level 1 Data boss rush was on another level.

Agreed.
I only was able to watch the first hour but they made it pretty fun. They were playing critical mode and the first few boss fights in the game were done incredibly well. They met a donation incentive and they were singing the seven top rated Disney songs throughout the 4 hours... which was surprisingly amazing. I actually want to go back in the archives and catch the rest.

Nice. I forgot about the Disney songs, wanted to see them sing those. Will have to check it out with some others I missed. Thanks.

I am curious when we will hear raffle results, Sunday?
This is my first live event.
Also, watch The Town With No Name run ... it is hilarious.

They definitely did last year. They got a couple hundred thousand during the Chrono Trigger run last year IIRC
Yes, they had around this much money raised last year going into the finale (the last game) and raised $1 million. Lots of donations fly in in the last several hours of the marathon, it's why they typically do much longer runs to end the marathon.

Now that looks like the Dark Souls I know
